Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
It can be a sign of breast abscess, mastitis, or even breast cancer ( God forbid)
I think you need to see a doctor for expert evaluation. Surgeons are the best persons to go to.
I don't really mean that you need a surgery. So, don't get scared, just seek expert advise as it may turn quite painful.
Take care.
